Almost looks like a speckles Sussex with wayyyy to much white. But the ear lines don't look brown either. Where did you get her from?A small 15" snake made the fatal mistake of slithering into the chicken run. Boy was that hen entertainment for the afternoon. I believe they ultimately devoured it as I haven't seen it since. When I discovered it initially, they'd pecked it's head off. I rescued this hen in Dec. Any thoughts on what she is? No feathers on her legs.
She was rescued from an 80+ farm animal hoarder in Dec. I adopted 20 from that rescue and 2 of them are speckled sussex sisters. She came down with dry fowl pox within 2 weeks and spent 4 weeks inside away from the other 6 hens. She's ~4.5-5 pounds and lays med cream-lt brown eggs, typically 5-7 days/week. She's just getting over a little period of broodiness so she's not presently laying.
What does everything think the chances this egg would hatch?? I don't know if it was just an off lay or if a wild bird flew in and laid it. It was in my mottled Duccle coop. I'm setting up the incubator in a couple days and debating on throwing this one in there to try...
